At first, the pace of the book has slowed down considerably. It doesn’t have that personality of Charlie… BUT THEN… being inside Lincoln’s thoughts and reading about his athleticism became very intriguing. We get to experience Lincoln’s rude thoughts, his judgements of others in a humorous way, and his compassion that is rarely picked up by others. His emotions of disgust, annoyance, frustration, or to see him open up because it felt right. He wasn’t always a statue of no emotions, and that shed light on who he was in the previous four books. To read about Lincoln’s abilities when he goes into the night is fascinating. His ability to move around with ease like a ninja warrior was a bit surprising because its clear Charlie didn’t witness much of it before. It really was a secret! Finally, understanding the thoughts behind Lincoln’s responses was also enlightening. When he makes a threat, its not even scratching the surface what he is able to do. His short direct statements are to entice others to reveal more about themselves. And his non-responsiveness is sometimes simply because he doesn’t feel the need to answer, which is relatable. His stoicism really hides so much of his personality, and it was nice to finally see the man Charlie fell in love with. He ain’t so bad!

I was upset at the prior ending, but Ms. Archer was smart to drop the price of this book. I felt I couldn’t pass on it, just to see how long it would take to rectify her mistake. Now, to have read an entire book without Charlie, only to be told she’ll be back in the next feels like a slap in the face. There was no reason to send her away. Lincoln’s no longer a hero. He’s a coward who didn’t stand by his own convictions. You’re best course of action would be to have him beg for her forgiveness and for her to deny him completely. The story could be finished with her future life without Lincoln. Since I know that’s not how the series will finish, I’m not sure I want to cont8nue. I’ll process for a day or two.

This short book ended even halfway before the end of the pages !!! What a rip off !!!

The entire series of books is world wind of excitement and wonder from beginning to end and I highly recommend you read it from beginning to end without stopping you will enjoy the ride
